This release adds support for Intel GPUs, and it deprecates old ggml-based backends which are by now superseded by llama.cpp (that now supports more architectures out-of-the-box). See also #1651.

Images are now based on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS instead of Debian bullseye.

Intel GPUs

There are now images tagged with "sycl". There are sycl-f16 and sycl-f32 images indicating f16 or f32 support.

For example, to start phi-2 with an Intel GPU it is enough to use the container image like this:

docker run -e DEBUG=true -ti -v $PWD/models:/build/models -p 8080:8080  -v /dev/dri:/dev/dri --rm quay.io/go-skynet/local-ai:master-sycl-f32-ffmpeg-core phi-2

Note

First off, a massive thank you to each and every one of you who've chipped in to squash bugs and suggest cool new features for LocalAI. Your help, kind words, and brilliant ideas are truly appreciated - more than words can say!

And to those of you who've been heros, giving up your own time to help out fellow users on Discord and in our repo, you're absolutely amazing. We couldn't have asked for a better community.

So, if you've found value in what we're building together and want to keep the momentum going, consider showing your support. A little shoutout on your favorite social platforms using @LocalAI_OSS and @mudler_it or joining our sponsorship program can make a big difference.

This release adds support to the transformer backend for LLM as well!

For now instance you can run codellama-7b with transformers with:

docker run -ti -p 8080:8080 --gpus all localai/localai:v2.7.0-cublas-cuda12 codellama-7b

In the quickstart there are more examples available https://localai.io/basics/getting_started/#running-models.

Note: As llama.cpp is ongoing with changes that could possible cause breakage, this release does not includes changes from ggerganov/llama.cpp#5138 (the future versions will).

What's Changed

This release adds more embedded models, and shrink image sizes.

You can run now phi-2 ( see here for the full list ) locally by starting localai with:

docker run -ti -p 8080:8080 localai/localai:v2.5.0-ffmpeg-core phi-2

LocalAI accepts now as argument a list of short-hands models and/or URLs pointing to valid yaml file. A popular way to host those files are Github gists.

For instance, you can run llava, by starting local-ai with:

docker run -ti -p 8080:8080 localai/localai:v2.5.0-ffmpeg-core https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mudler/LocalAI/master/embedded/models/llava.yaml
